Dutch National Police, in a joint operation with the FBI, NCIS, and other agencies, have disrupted the operations of two malware programs known as Redline and Meta. These infostealers are used by criminals to steal user credentials and sensitive data from individuals and organizations. Redline has been active since 2020, while Meta is a newer variant. This operation, codenamed Magnus, has resulted in the seizure of servers hosting the malware, including source code, which could help authorities understand the malware’s functionality and target future attacks. While arrests haven’t been announced, legal actions are underway. This is a significant blow to the cybercrime community and demonstrates the effectiveness of international collaboration in combating online threats.
